Can I paint?

We are doing a remodel of our basement. My hubby moved some walls to make the family room larger and now the drywaller is just finishing up with mudding the walls and ceiling. All he has left to do is sand and texture the ceiling.

My question is can I help to paint the walls once it is done? Or will the fumes be harmful?

Stay away from primers. IF its water based paint its safe. But i was told when i was pregnant not to use the roller because it can pull something...forget what lol. I was also told not to vaccuum. Same reason. Something to do with extending your arm too far
